Part 1!

Next part coming out soon.

(Present Time; 20XX)One would believe that I should have been hell bent on hating and wanting to take some form of revengeful act towards Katerina. But you see, unlike my twin brother who acts first then thinks later, I can actually reign in my anger way better than he can. And it is thanks to this little skill set that Katerina - now known as Katherine Pierce- is till this day one of my closest friends.

I mean you know what people say, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Unfortunately being " friends" with Kat has had it's downsides to it too. My relationship with Klaus has been on a very thin thread because of this. And it's all because I am having been keeping her location a secret, especially since word got out that she wasn't stuck underneath some church tombs.

I know he wants to torture and then kill her for making him have to wait another 500 years for the next doppelganger to appear. But she is an important part of my plans. It is because of this that we've had some bad blood as of recently.

No matter how much Klaus says he trusts me, I can see the truth in his eyes. As the years have gone by, his faith in me withers away day by day. It hurts, I will not lie, to see my brother, my alpha lose the ability to rely on me. But I am aware of how my brother thinks and how he would react to knowing what I know. Of course he has patience and will wait for the perfect moment, yet he can also act very impulsive.

As much as I hate that look in his eyes, the one filled with distrust and disappointed, I cannot let him ruin our chances of finally sacrificing a doppelganger to break the curse. After all, I've done all this for us, for him. I can only hope he sees it that way when the time comes to become complete once more.

Timeskip

I was on my own seeing as my just three hours ago I had stormed out of Niklaus' temporary home. We may have had a small fall out, but I am sure that all will be fine the following day. As much as I love my dear brother his temper really gets the best of him at times. As I sit here on the bay window of one of my permanent residents, I can't help but think back to our argument.

Annette was sitting on the creamed colored couch within Klaus' study. The young blonde was awaiting the arrival of her brother. As of late, the rumors of Katherine being free and not rotting away underneath some churches tombs had been confirmed. Katherine had been cited, one of Klaus' many spies had seen heading up to the northern east states. Anne can only assume this is what he's called her in to "talk about," when we both know it would and will let into a scream feast.

The downstairs opened and then slammed shut with a bang. In a swift movement Klaus had appeared right before her, ripping away the magazine she had been pretending to read.

With a light sigh, she prepares for the worse. By this point Annette knows and is just sick and tired of his sudden anger outbursts at her.

Looking up, she awaits for him to speak first. She watches as he paces to and fro, around his study. Finally her stops with his back towards her.

"Where is she?" Klaus spoke softly, but you could feel his anger. It was like a clock of rage began to surround him.

"Where's who, dear brother? You'll have to be more specific…" she was cut off by Klaus' sudden movement. In a flash he was towering over her, his narrow to sharp glare, and lips in a snarl.

"DO NOT LIE TO ME!"

Annette flinched as he raised his voice at her. She felt cornered as he leaned down, right hand clasped tight on her left shoulder. Ann sat there as he continued on with his rage speech.

"You know exactly who I am talking about! For years, rumors have come and gone about Katerina being free and for years, centuries even, you had lied to me over and over again!! You knew! You knew she was alive and not desiccating!"

The hate, distrust, and pure rage in his eyes made Annette was to cry. It has seemed like this was the final straw. Perhaps she kept things a secret for too long, yet she still had hope that she could fix all of it. The time just wasn't right, 'Not yet.' she thinks to herself.

With a few tears streaking down her cheeks, she pushes him away. Using that as a way to exit her current position, she stands and appears next to the bookshelf across the couch. She wipes her face clean, before facing her brother.
